We have had our mega-sketcher for roughly 5 years. My Miss would have been 2 1/2 when she got it and it is still going strong. If I could tell all parents to get one toy for 3+ yrs, this would be it. It is durable and lasting fun.
Ours has withstood being thrown a few times, stood on and I may have even vacuumed it. It does have a small mark on it where one of the first user was rather heavy-handed. It often disappears under the bed and then reappears a few weeks later with 'I love you mum and daddy' written on it .
Miss has drawn some wonderful pictures and with the age of the digital camera, all is not lost with a slide of the push switch. When she started school she practised her handwriting and number forming. It is also great for playing hangman and noughts and crosses. In fact she used it just yesterday to write -who? when i was speaking on the phone.
The only negative I can think of is the push slide being rather noisy, other than that it is a definite, go for it.

These are great! we purchased one recently for my son to entertain him on a long road trip and it was a big hit!! He drew on it for hours and loved the little switch that clears the screen for you.
my only complaint is that maybe the little shapes should be attached as they were misplaced about an hour after purchase.
otherwise a great product!!

Very cool! Bought it for Christmas for my son. Had to unpack it and have a look, and was a little disappointed at how simple it appeared. Then I had a play. The double-ended pen is cool, and you can have a lot of fun with the supplied stampers, or just go butcher up a couple of fridge magnets and you can make anything you want! (I cut a few old magets up, and used an old wooden roller to make a repeating stamp of a roadway with the white lines down the middle... very much fun!)
It's simplicity is both accurate and an illusion. It's simple design makes it ideal for kids, and should anything break, really easy to repair. Not that I have had to yet.
Lots of fun, and around half the price of the other majorly known magnetic drawing board.
Overall, brilliant!
